Where Will It Go?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners predict where a ball will go after it bounces off another object. Learners discover that the motion of objects is predictable based on laws of motion.

Join the Dinosaur Age
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Ramps 1: Let it Roll!
Source Institutions
In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

Building Tetrahedral Kites
Source Institutions
Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Best Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

The Length of My Foot
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

What Shape Is It?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

Silly Putty Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

Balloon Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

Solving Linear Equations: The Yo-Yo Problem
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore linear patterns, write a pattern in symbolic form, and solve linear equations using algebra tiles, symbolic manipulation, and a graphing calculator.

Ramps 2: Ramp Builder
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

Measurement: Bubble Mania
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

Story Stones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

Bouncing Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

Hanging Around
Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

Paper Drop Design Competition
Source Institutions
Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

Statistics: Whirlybirds
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

Echolocation Lab
Source Institutions
In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.
